The link is to an April 17 article in the N.Y. Times. Permit some shameless self-promotion on this point. I've been teaching a literature course at the University of Texas - Southwestern Medical School for the past 10 years, offered as an elective in Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Pediatrics to fourth-year medical students, together with third-year law students. It's a fantastic way to give the students a humane and humanistic grounding in their chosen professions. I recommend the humanities influence in medical education wholeheartedly. [tm]
